Oddly, I've encountered many students of all ages with the "just give me the info" attitude. I think it's up to college admissions professionals to help set expectations about the time, energy, technology, and thought process needed for success in online courses/programs. It is crucial for us as instructors to justify techniques that may be viewed as wastes of time. Some students will take "fun" for what it is, but all need to tie the activities to what they're trying to learn.
